41204
. (a) It is the intent of the Legislature, pursuant to "The
Classroom Instructional Improvement and Accountability Act," that
school districts, as defined in Section 41302.5, and community
college districts, as constituted during 1986-87 fiscal year,
annually receive a basic minimum portion of the revenues that were
deposited to the General Fund in that year.
(b) In recognition of this intent, it is further the intent of the Legislature that both houses and the Governor be guided by the following:
(1) If the revenues of a tax that were deposited in the General Fund in the 1986-87 fiscal year are redirected to any local governmental entity, then the percentages of General Fund revenues required to be applied by the state for the support of school districts, community college districts, and state agencies providing direct elementary and secondary level instructional services shall be recalculated as if those revenues were not deposited in the General Fund in the 1986-87 fiscal year.
(2) If the allocated local proceeds of taxes, as defined by subdivisions (g) and (h) of Section 41202, received by a school district or community college district during the 1986-87 fiscal year, are redirected to other entities or statutorily or constitutionally reduced or eliminated, the additional General Fund support provided to replace the allocated local proceeds of taxes may not be counted as General Fund revenues required to be applied for the support of school districts, community college districts, and state agencies providing direct elementary and secondary level instructional services pursuant to paragraph (1) of subdivision (b) of Section 8 of Article XVI of the California Constitution, unless the percentage of General Fund revenues appropriated to school districts, community college districts, and state agencies providing direct elementary and secondary level instructional services in the 1986-87 fiscal year is adjusted to reflect the amount of General Fund support that would have been provided in the 1986-87 fiscal year had the allocated local proceeds of taxes been correspondingly reduced.
(c) No appropriation of funding to be allocated to school districts, as defined in Section 41302.5, or community college districts, for the support of any program or activity of either or both of those entities, that is not an ordinary or historical responsibility of one or both of those entities shall be credited toward the state's funding obligation under subdivision (b) of Section 8 of Article XVI of the California Constitution.
